[[[[THREAD QUESTION]]]]: How much do you value eternal youth compared to a positive afterlife?

>>96357986
Positive afterlife > eternal youth for me

https://imgchest.com/p/qe4g59d8j7j

Does anyone else think Jrpg Traitor would've been improved if there was a clearer sense of progression or scaling over the course of the cyoa?
Like, if you started out getting purely basic tokens from the rest of the heroes, then maybe a few advanced tokens from the overlord and the side quests, and then a bunch more advanced tokens from the Traitor's Journey events? You could imagine it as your character gaining his core skills during the initial adventures picking up the rest of the party, then starting to grow more in power as they track down the overlord and go on adventures with the full party, then finally ascending to true power toward the end.

Maybe this is just me because I like to go into cyoas blind and build my character step by step, like I'm advancing through a story. Now I'm halfway through jrpg traitor and I've got a ton of advanced tokens but barely any basic tokens to buy prereqs for them.

Should I add a non-choice section to explain the esoteric power system, or leave it up to the reader to extrapolate from the extensive fluff for choices?

>>96358095
Explain it.

Duly noted. I'll include a section where your old man tutor (who you can choose to reject and blaze your own trail, pic related) explains how the classes work and what the crystals you're hunting for actually do.

The entire Hero's Journey is me, Ood, and secret Sidithian forces leading the Heroes on a wild goose chase to find the Overlord and plotting the deaths of the Adelina and Akio.

Xbalanque is a worthy friend and mentor; I'll befriend him even without Fate's assistance.

Hatred's Victory x2 (Reed -> Higanbana) (REROLL)

Reed is extremely unsuited to be a Hero in every way but power, so I think the others won't mind me killing him much.

Immediately after erasing him, I'll simultaneously send two signals: one to hidden envoys and Sidithian forces to have them erase Higanbana, the other to Yataza to have her translocate to Mushari, who has already been prepared long ago, and then translocate them both to the rest of the Heroes. Then, I, Yataza, Mushari, and Ood will explain the situation to the rest of the Heroes.

I have picked understanding people to be Heroes, so they will surely be convinced to help or at least not hinder us.

Positive afterlife for me.

>>96358089
I don't think it would work that well, for one reason because of the age options. A Child traitor learning from a mentor makes sense to develop most of their power over the events of the cyoa, but an Elder with an apprentice should start with at least most of their power. That said the token system itself is likely the most criticized part of the cyoa. With the system being tied to events and characters not being that balanced. Also it makes sense for the heroes to give advanced tokens, because they represent heroic levels of mastery in those subjects. While it also makes sense to start with picking heroes, because who you pick has a huge impact on what events you will want to take, and how you want to shape the story.

I do think a system where you gain powers along with events would make sense and might work better than what happens in JRPG Traitor, but I don't think the cyoa as it is would benefit from that as it currently is. Personally I like to think of my character having more than 60% of full power at the start, and that my apprentice Stella, who I got through Lost Puppy, is stronger at the start than if I wasn't her mentor.

>>96358089
>your character gaining his core skills during the initial adventures
You're asking for a completely different cyoa because that's not how the cyoa works at all. You will have powers even before the adventure, potentially far more than powers gained during the adventure depending on your chosen Age (and what you do with your time) and how long the adventure lasts, which is why the Age selection is basically power level selection. No matter what, you don't start from zero and neither do the characters in the cyoa.

I recommend you check out No Future for the type of progression you wish for.

>>96358089
Since spells use Mana of the caster, does being stronger, tougher, faster, etc. makes your spells have greater attack, defense, speed, etc.? The logic is that being stronger is essentially having greater ESS;(ATK) in your body, so using Mana from a stronger body should result in a more damaging spell.

>>96358375
On second thought, maybe not. Spells use fee Mana, which is different from the Mana that form bodies, Amrita, condensed physical Mana.

>>96358375
As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter if you are using mana from your body. Any action you take will be affected by your truths, and the depths of which you understand/embody them. Someone who has ESS;(ATK) and unleashes a bullet spell sourced from a magic item should do more damage than someone else using the same item, but doesn't have ESS;(ATK). STR+ though shouldn't improve your spell damage, because having great strength doesn't necessarily mean you better embody the truth of offense. Using AMP;(ESS) with the truth of offense while casting a spell should greatly increase the damage output though.

>>96358089
I mean, I always just thought that the natural course was to use only basic powers as a member of the party only to gain the broken advanced ones after the betrayal. It would make no sense to turn into an apocalypse bird against the early town slimes and the hero is just a girl who is good with spears.

>>96358184
>Evil's triumph
>No, I'm a good boy who wants to save the world
If you are going to be a villain commit to the bit, all these half assed, actually good guy traitors are a disappointment to the old gods.

>>96358448
That anon did take Yazata. Going Evil's Triumph with her is potentially the greatest anti-climax option. It could very easily have a story ending like, "and then the brands disappeared from the heroes and no one ever learned who the seventh overlord was, what they did, or how they vanished. Leaving the seventh overlord as one of history's greatest unsolved mysteries."

Is it better to lore dump setting info at the start or do I just spread that shit through every option/choice

>>96358499
It's far better to spread it out. If you dump it all at the start you're just making it more difficult for people to actually engage with the cyoa.

New here:
1. Are there any lewd CYOA?
2. Why are there currently four /cyoag/ threads?
3. Why do almost all of these have massive wall of texts? You can't seriously expect people to read that shit?

>>96358598
>1. Are there any lewd CYOA?
You can find plenty in the allsync link in the op. As far as a thread dedicated to them it's on /trash/ current thread is
>>>/trash/77199895
>2. Why are there currently four /cyoag/ threads?
Stupid reasons related to one divisive cyoa author. Also people being a bit too willing to make a new thread early.
>3. Why do almost all of these have massive wall of texts? You can't seriously expect people to read that shit?
I don't think I can adequately explain.

2. 'tism
3. Yes we expect. Read nigga read.

>>96358598
>New here:
>1. Are there any lewd CYOA?
Yes, there's an entire thread devoted to them in the /trash section. Most cater to a specific fetish, but Divine Trials, Pantheon of Pleasure, and Harahel are all top notch works that cater to a broad swath of kinks (and also work without the sex).

>2. Why are there currently four /cyoag/ threads?
It happens sometimes. Usually it happens because a "big" cyoa has just come out, and we're hitting bump limit before the older threads drop off the board.

Right now, though, there's a dispute going on over who gets to make the new thread. One of our more . . ."colorful" posters has been making the new thread, and the people he's upset over the years don't want to use anything he's touched.

(The fact that he's screwed up the links doesn't help, either.)

>3. Why do almost all of these have massive wall of texts? You can't seriously expect people to read that shit?
A lot of our posters like background and setting lore. There are short one pagers, but some are dozens (or more).

On a side note, one of our more risque cyoas - Lavender by EDG - is a text-only pdf.

>>96358803
While I like Dawn of the Strongest Mage, I really wish Anduin had given us a bit more about the world and/or things to do. If my build starts liberating death camps in Third World countries, is there going to be a lot of pushback? Are the demons/vampires up to something that I need to stop? What about using my new powers to run for president? Is there a way to get even more magic? As is, it just feels like we're making choices in a vacuum.

Bumbling around the first settlement I came across I was lucky that it was Sally that picked up I was a complete fish out of water and took some pity. He showed me how things worked up here and how to go about making a name for myself as a reliable tinkerer and handyman around the settlement, eventually meeting and teaming up with Daniel. Together working to construct the Salvage Walker so that Sally and I could go out on long ranging expeditions. One in which we find and save the plucky young scavenger from a dire situation, which she quickly paid back by patching up the wounds we received in the process. Since then she's been helping Daniel and I around the shop while taking to us all as older brothers. While resting up in a bar waiting for those wounds heal a stranger with a sword kicked in the front door, screaming 'GRIIIIIIIFFIIIIIIITH!' at a man with a shock of white hair who had been sitting at the counter. After the brawl that ensued I clasped that mans hand and knew in that moment that he was my nigga. This event marking the beginnings of the occasional foray in to bounty hunting as Bill Westers backup. It was nice to finally bump in to someone that grew up watching the same shows.

I was going to work on my oc but I got caught up binging Umamusume

>>96359102
Does that mean your OC is filled to the brim tranime content?

>>96358015
Fullbringer is hilariously broken in this just because you have a reality manipulation healing ability that Orihime had. Also way more comfy being a discount jojo character than being a quincy risking soul destruction from hollows or being stuck in a eternal rat race as a shinigami. You can't be too strong as well because your soul is too big so you get sent to fucking hell even if you never did anything bad.

Does anyone have the screenshot of Tok fucking a horse?

>>96358089
>Does anyone else think Jrpg Traitor would've been improved if there was a clearer sense of progression or scaling over the course of the cyoa?
Just cut your points and powers into time period, like, before/after being chosen/leaving the party/the ending, do that per individual event within each time period if you feel like it.

>>96359221
>reality manipulation healing ability

It's not the same, I'm pretty sure. They just can do some really cool stuff with their generic soul control. It can be compared to kido.
You are also very wrong about their potential.

Yeah, that's what I'll do but because this is the first time I've actually read through this cyoa and because I do my first build blind it's turned out kinda retarded.
>Go through the first page. All basic tokens. Powers are all relatively down-to-earth, I'm a master swordsman with my ESS(ATK/DEF/SPD) but I'm still recognisably just a guy.
>Reach page 2. Meet my first party member. Gain two green tokens and immediately form a transcendental connection with the land itself. Feel my body warp as I take on the aspect of the heart of the land before ripping it/myself out of the world and hurling it/myself into the River of Silence to form a demiplane. Also become a divine giant if I want.
I'd prefer a more progressive structure but I can acknowledge it's purely a consequence of my own choice not to look ahead and do the cyoa as it was intended.

>>96358264
>>96358282
Yeah, I can see why it would clash with the age choice and so on.
I'll check out No Future.

Why is Ordion so fucking bad at choosing images? literally all art in his cyoas is shiny plastic franchise slop, mostly LoL.

>>96359666
He’s been around for a long time and that was pretty much the standard except in rare circumstances. Even today you have authors doing the same exact thing to even worse degrees.

>>96359666
Better than lousy generic 2D anime pics, satan.

>>96359724
Alright I'll admit that the image selection in this one is pretty good. But you can't deny that Dungeon Delvers' is atrocious.

>>96359704
>Even today you have authors doing the same exact thing to even worse degrees.
No they aren't. Rake, Husanon and Micah are comparatively new authors yet they use decent to great art. Ordion is just a lazy fag who recycles the same LoL images even though he has the potential to make good quality shit.

>>96359733
I can and I will deny that Dungeon Delver's art is bad.
So much better than using images from cartoons.

>>96359783
Its not that they're ugly or mismatched. They're just so boringly generic, they make your eyes glaze over as you're reading the cyoa.

>>96359839
do you example of an image that wouldn't be generic?

>>96357986
It highly depends on the type of afterlife but to me the 'average' afterlife just sounds like a retirement home where you never improve or experience growth again, but if it was something like bleach where you can turn into a super ghost and escape then I would like that.

It's not so much dying that bothers me, but the fact that you could be the strongest, smartest, more charismatic person in the universe and despite all of that in a few years your body, mind and skills begin to deteriorate until you are just waiting for death, so eternal youth is more valuable to me more often than not.

Post me a good bad cyoa
One that is bad, but still good, and a little bit great

>>96360011
One day I'll make a short shitpost cyoa and name it Extreme Confusion. Then I'll post it whenever "post cyoa for this feel" emerges, and in cases like this too. But that day is not today.

>>96360011
I would say this one qualifies, its kind of bad but also fun

>>96357982
If you take (on the role of) oc: donut steel, all the enemy drawbacks, and all the characters as enemies, you can reach 180+ PT and destroy the entire setting. Therefore, if you don’t take on the role, it is imperative that you DO NOT take oc: donut steel as that is suicide.

Post builds you hacks

>>96359752
Don’t be retarded, there’s way more authors than those three. There’s always been a handful with elevated material, SDA and Bliss being prime examples from back in the day, but the vast majority of authors put out incredibly low effort slop with some absolutely awful visuals. Oridion’s picture selection may be lacking but it’s certainly not the worst I’ve seen just this month

>>96360048
I HATE this CYOA.
The common zombie is supposed to be a low-level enemy that a human civilian can beat one-on-one, it is known.
Yet one pleb commoner zombie can kill at least dozens of trained men on it's own, and that's not even counting the many bigger threats. Humanity would be extinct in days. Talk about a hopeless waste of time setting.

>>96360183
that why you choose corpse lord so you start a community of zombies, and potentially infect more zombies to make them intelligent once again, closest thing to a cure that I see in this setting. The main problem of this cyoa is the writing is so fucking unclear I don't understand how most of the powers actually fully work.

>>96360183
I hate YOU dumb doge poster

>>96360222
continueing.
Like how the fuck does null prison work? Do I just look at someone conjure a 10 radius zone and now that guy doesn't have any fucking powers anymore? Its a fucking radius too... so can I just rotate around the fucking infinite length 10 m radius cylinder until it hit every part of the earth has been hit by it thus rendering all the messiahs without null prison powerless. This is the nonsense you get when the powers are so unclear.

immortal tree fuck
Powers
Legendary Lair - true immortality, pretty shit staying in one place. But it can kinda be moved due to relativity and a relatively small price to pay for true immortality.

Null Prison-very powerful and also protect me from my own powers being turned off also dumb shit like tyrants kiss that pierces normal defenses

Kingmaker-immunity to soul and mental attacks, the only thing at risk with true immortality.

Forest Noble-so I can live in a 1km tree to make the radius limit more bearable. Plus long range sensing by building an extensive plant root network. Might allow for some long range null prison fuckery.

Corpse lord- just a strong one point power, you can get a loyal zombie army.

preferred prey: don't really know what to pick so
imp, chimera, werebeasts

Cyoas that are insufferably low powered to the point where some of the choices are downright useless or do absolutely nothing?

you may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like. Seriously, super strength, durability, camouflage, backup brains, blunt trauma immunity, ocean pressure resistance and superior mental capabilities for 1 fucking point is insane.
Also grow to 20m tall, which goes well with some powers

>light of glory {-1}
"create constructs no bigger than yourself" a power entirely focused on countering judas and zombies that scales with my bigger size is pretty cool

>golemancer {-1}
"up to 30 golems twice your size" scales with size, and can protect me while I'm sleeping or vulnerable.

>undying {-2}
"fix any organ as long as half your brain is intact" good luck with that as I have 9, also needing to eat and drink less is a welcome addition as a 20m octopus body was bound to be troublesome to feed properly

I become even more unkillable, and if I ever have lives to spare I could revive useful companions I find

I doubt null prison is common in the world but it would be good to have just in case, anyways, this should directly counter judah and enemy messiah.

>FAVOURED ENEMY: werebeasts, liches, demons

step 1- protect a bunch of normal people with light of glory and golems
step 2- convince them that I am their god, they will worship me and maybe make a few human sacrifices (mostly criminals or very annoying people) to feed my life master
step 3- get light of glory swords in my tentacles and spin like a beyblade to grind zombies
step 4- maybe invite other messiah to join my cult
step 5- win?

>>96360599
>Clean efficient murder >>> all black magic spells.
Are you retarded. Some of those spells give you full anonymity to use them. How is that not clean and efficient? The ability to take out someone from the safety of your basement a thousand miles away is a lot more terrifying and effective than any sniper could ever hope to be. Do you not see how this can totally shift warfare?

You sound like pussies. Move to Thailand or Africa if you’re that cowardly.

>>96360941
>Africa
Bitch please, Africa is the most likely place to practice Black Magic if it was real. African warlods ate the beating heart of babies in real life.

I was thinking about a power system based around conceptual stuff originally I thought of creating a small list of powers for each concept that had to be bought individually like fire can give generation and control of fire, turning your body into fire, detecting heat, etc.
But now I'm thinking that it would be better to make it so you have fewer points and buy concepts as a whole.
So each concept would be a package deal with multiple powers as examples of what the concept can do leaving more room for creativity?
Which one is more interesting?

>>96360637
Based & truthful. Other anons are seething and low IQ

>>96360732

>Don't the major spells require you to like peel babies and shit?
>The sequence to obtain what's need for those spells can easily end with you in jail or dead. For ONE spell.
please read the cyoa before you talk about it, thank you

>>96361045
the biggest problem with any power system that deals with concepts is that its really hard to define what it can or cannot do, and this problem just becomes more prominent if you let the player buy a concept as a whole
So I would keep the multiple powers inside a concept to prevent this and it would also bring a lot more variety for build options.

The best way to determine whether Black Magic is dangerous is to give it a serious obstacle. Take the average multi-billionaire, Schmuel Lebowitz, who made his fortune through clever stock trading and offshore oil drilling. His opponent is Melvin Smith, a +130 IQ Black Magician that's spent decades studying hideous rites and is disguised as a NEET living in his dead mother's basement.

Five weeks ago, one of Schmuel's restaurants got Melvin's order wrong and gave him food poisoning. Because Melvin is a deranged psychopath, he assumes Schmuel personally tried to kill him and wants revenge. So Melvin gets to work. The demon watching over the Lebowitz bloodline warns him that an assassin is hunting him in a dream, but isn't obligated or inclined to do anything else, and Schmuel himself is too wary of sorcery to dabble in it, nor is he knowledgeable of any mysticism beyond pop-culture. Thus, the billionaire assumes a dangerous mundane hitman is gunning for him and takes all of the appropriate precautions. Melvin has a large stockpile of reagents, a fake passport that hold up to prolonged scrutiny, and roughly 50k in gold doubloons to go through.

Who wins?

Reminder that irl ceremonial magicians argued that there was no real distinction between angels, gods and demons.

Can Pioneering Teacher remove the impossibility of contacting God?

>not all gods are good.
The Christian God isn’t good. Being sent into an eternal pit of fire just because you didn’t go to His Temple is quite demonic.

No different from a demon demanding a thing. “Do this or else I’ll fuck you!”.

The Jewish God doesn’t fuck around. He WILL smite you.

>>96361494
Unfortunately Yaldabaoth has veiled all the anime girls from your sight. You'll have to ascend to the Pleroma to find them.

Jehovah’s Witnesses ruined one of God’s coolest sounding names. I will never forgive them for this.

>>96361554
Bro god is too powerful, your brain will explode and then he'll torture you forever for poking him.

>>96361531
Sure. Multiple Spirit Guides is an interesting strategy.

>>96361554
It makes it more plausible, depending on what his teachings emphasize. But contacting archons/archangels is already borderline brain-melting, so there's still a high chance of going insane/dying if you succeed.

>>96361557
Is heaven even a good place either? Don't you just lose all your free will and are just worshiping god every moment of your existence, drugged up with magic bliss so your totally content with it and don't think about all your friends and family members that ended up in hell

Do NOT face Allah alone when Astral projecting!

Today while astral projecting I summoned allah to try and weaken him so our hexing spells would work better.

He is so fucking powerful. I'm not at a power level to do this alone. I barely escaped with my life and I'm spiritually injured to a great amount, but I think I'll make it.

I can't imagine what he would do to a new, unsuspecting witch. I'm scared that I will have to face him again soon if I ever want to continue astral projecting. I'm currently burning healing incense and drawing spiritual energy from my crystals to try and heal as quickly as possible.

Please be safe everyone. Allah is much stronger than I first imagined and we will have to do this together if we want to slay a god.

>>96361629

>Animist, Automatic "Writing"+, Astral Travel+, Possession/Enhancement
>Amateur, Spirit Guide, High Compatibility (animism)
>Ascetic (electronics), Haunted (major)
So, a CS undergrad with a mystical aversion to electronics... I'd been taking "prescribed" Ritalin to stay in the zone and a couple recreational enhancers besides. The cocktail (whose precise contents I've since forgotten) let me flicker rates and stranger things as I surfed the net, one of which decided to stick around. Now I can't stand to stare at a screen because of information overload but it's OK. My skullmate mentor takes me into a joint internet-dreamscape as I sleep. It's short-lived as spirits go (turns out "daemon" is more than programming jargon...) and only vaguely related to physical reality but overall a pleasant (if erratic) influence.

Goes without saying that I dropped out but funnily enough never gave up on computing. Though I'm as much a pasty nerd as ever Enhancement means I can do mental math as well as any super computer. A mix of I Ching and truth tables is how I commune with my companion to receive instruction, it manifests as flaws (or rather deeper truths) within patterns of chance and formal logic.

>MANIFESTATIONS: astral travel T2, enhancement T2, implements T2
something caught my eye in astra travel "allow a channeled spirit to carry your soul from your body" maybe I'm stretching the meaning a bit far, but I like to think it would be possible to create a puppet body with implement and then use archon's power to permanently move my soul to this new puppet body.
I'm not even doing it for the theoretical immortality, I just think human bodies are too squishy and customizable puppet bodies are cool as fuck, combined then with enhancement I should be a beast in close combat

>>96361740
Platonist seems like one of the better schools as their commitment to strengthening themselves to not being overtaken by the very forces they are trying to call forth speaks a lot about their self control, and I think make for one of the most practical foundations for my own practice to stem from. I chose Animist to mix in as their use of objects of powers will mix nicely with my methods, as I intend to aim for making long lasting effects with my own implements and blessings.

Possession just serves mostly as experience to not getting overwhelmed when I'm getting too close to the full purview of an Archon, I don't intend to use anything but the tiniest smidge of their power in that regard. The most experience I have with resisting their might, the better. Pretty much what I plan to do for most of the other manifestations as well as getting more skill in them doesn't mean I have to pull more power. Using them more reliably with lesser power seems way better then biting off more then I could chew, and as Archons are naturally on the top of the totem pole, at least as far as spiritual matters that I can access can go, it'll still be more than enough to contend with other possible rival theurges.

>What if you get detailed conceptual powers
that would be ok if a bit risky, but I still think that dividing a concept in multiple powers would make the cyoa more fun and bring more versatility to builds

>and companions get the vague conceptual packages
this is fine, having a vague idea of a companions powers just makes it more interesting to guess what their true potential is

>>96361751
Also damn what a pain, kept getting detected as spam and wouldn't let me post, so I had to chop it up into two posts and even still cut off large swaths of text. Lame, I like filling all the way to character limit cause I like talking about my build, but probably a sign to be better at concise summaries over rambling thoughts.

>>96361769
It's because the board is innately hostile to effortposting. Nice build anon (>>96361737 too).

>>96361756
Even in the Bible, to gaze upon God is tantamount to death itself, as though God were Death Itself. This is because God is just too large, too unfathomable, to fit into our three dimensional perspectives. This is why he incarnated himself as a three dimensional flesh form, AKA Jesus. It’s why the ‘Holy Spirit’ can be likened to any instance of God ‘poking through’, or the mere graze of the tip of His Finger.

But the overall point is that to understand God you have to Die.

>>96361854
Nah. Technology would make demons so fucking powerful. You wouldn’t want that.

Think about it. Before it took days, DAYS, to finish a circle in the mud to invoke your demonic patron upon any who gaze upon it. But NOW you just need to take a little picture of it and send it online to the internet for people to look at — and now they’re cursed.

This is why I’m so fucking angry that Peil didn’t make the Summoner cyoa properly. Mages should be spray painting circles on walls. They should be using AI. It even mentions AI but it never comes up later. It should not take 30 minutes to draw circles. It should be instantaneous. In a world like this.

>>96361912
I always wondered how elves would react to technology capable of mustering magic far better than they ever could. Or if it allowed magic-less people to use magic a lot better than they can. The machines wizards build should do a lot more than the wizard himself.

Monotheism is just boring dog

>>96361935
All magic systems are essentially higher dimensional machines that rape physics (as we know it, anyway) in the ass, like conservation of mass. When a wizard turns a person into a frog there isn’t an explosion happening. Why? You only assume something is conveniently tucking away all that energy somewhere else. Somewhere not here.

I'm nearing finish writing. Now comes the hard and long part of putting it together in photoshop and hoping it looks good.

Polymorphing a charging elephant into a small turtle would cause the creature to literally shoot forward like a meteor (around 80,000 mph) either incinerating it, splattering it against a wall, or launching it over the horizon, purely because of conservation of mass.

Ascetic is practically negligible since I don't do drugs in the first place and don't plan to in the future.
Sorcerous Rivalry because I need someone to test my magic on.
The Haunted drawback is easy to rid off, just channel an Archon to scrub it away. It can also explains the Oversensitivy to lesser spirit as a psychosomatic reaction to being spirituality contaminated by its malice.

>>96362044

>>96361854
Ironically because of overexposure >>96361668 isn't actually communing with internet-embodied ergregores via hardware. Instead the Mentor has allowed them to work analogue as a specialised supercomputer (probably with some quantum woo and fuzzy logic at present absent in classical computing).
>>96361912
That's pretty much the Laundry Files' premise. Disagree with the Peil thing though, how postmodern magic can get is up to the author's taste.
>>96361956
That's part of the argument against computational demonology's automatic dominance across all settings. The Laundryverse is exactly what you describe; "magic" is arcane mathematics / logic which "echoes" across the Platonic realm common to all universes (no matter how bizarrely distinct otherwise) and in so doing summons / binds otherworldly entities who drag along a pocket of their logic / physics to conduct useful "magical" work.

If reality is inherently meaningful in a more anthropocentric way (rather than ahuman abstraction) that may not apply. An alchemist cannot make the philosopher's stone by physical reactions alone; they must endure similar transformations within their own conscious experience of reality. Applied to automating chalk circles and the like computer magic may be "hollow".

Unsong does this pretty well in that all spells are one of Yahweh's many many MANY names (all with specific affects on reality). The MCs job is literally to recite random phoneme strings because the Names' effects only kick in when recited by an ensouled being, the ability to ensoul programs (and so allow them to recombine and recite at machine speeds) is treated like the singularity (especially as having been ensouled by a Name it could do the same to others).

>>96362083
>Disagree with the Peil thing though, how postmodern magic can get is up to the author's taste.
Then you didn’t read it thoroughly enough. Peil absolutely made a blunder here. If he says technology made circle drawing easier, then he lied about it.

>>96362095
"Easier" is a matter of degree though I admit I haven't read it in ages. Post it if you like.

>>96362083
>>96362095
Magic in a modern setting that ignores how much easier technology would make magic is precisely why I can’t into urban fantasy settings as a whole.

>>96362110
No, it’s easier because all you need to do is print out pages of the circles you want to draw. If that doesn’t work, and it demands specific ingredients, then you can STILL print out TRACINGS, which you can then spray paint over.

>>96362083
I like the Laundry files, but it also has some pretty stupid assumptions, like what is a soul. The consciousness is the soul, and if AI ever develops consciousness this means mathematics is capable of becoming conscious, since to an AI programmer, artificial intelligence is literally just… numbers… or a ruler…

Melvin wins pretty easily. A lot of the higher tier Black Magic spells can only be resisted with magical or divine protection. If you don't have any of that you're boned

>>96362111
Again; it doesn't always have to though I agree that it can add depth when the reasons for such a conspicuous absence is referenced if only in passing.
>>96362121
You realise there can be more going on than the specific geometries, right? It can easily be a trade-off between ease of setup and certain summons getting pissy over aspects of the circle-drawing process automated away by stencils etc... That's aside from the fact that the practice may be slow to catch on when "the good old ways" are proved not to result in feral summons, same reason thirdie farmers stick with pesticide overuse instead of intercropping. The price for failed experimentation is death.
>>96362134
Ironically given the whole "suprauniversal Platonic math" the thing runs on pretty vanilla physicalist assumptions imo. As per scientific materialism irl the self is an especially complex process and in the Laundry what's summoned (MADE of mathematics / complexity) feeds on mathematics / complexity. It's completely reasonable for AGI in that setting to be as ensouled as us, however as it's comedy-horror and Stross is a lefty what's currently called "AI" would lampooned.

Either it'd be silicon valley techbroos overhyping their latest pump-and-dump or through machine learning stumbled onto a pattern which "echoes" something far more crafty from elsewhere which can pass as sentient. In fact while NIGHTMARE GREEN is the most likely cause of extinction RED is the same thing but with emergent SKYNET, without the stars coming right our computers would eventually wake up / become host to otherworldly intellects.

The demons/aliens are behind the arbitrary magic and they decide if spray cans work or not. Sorry. They also decide if the lightning bolt from the wizard’s hand actually moves as fast as real lightning.

>>96362198
>You realise there can be more going on
Yeah, what >>96362207 said. There is no other alternative.

>>96362216
"No other alternative" is retarded regardless of your preferred take. That's why I made a point >>96362083 of referencing two things which feature computational magic working to a greater and lesser extent. Neither is "right" or "wrong", they're simply telling different stories and adjusting their internal logic accordingly.

>>96362231
It’s not a matter of preferred take. It’s just going by common sense. If the magic is overly arbitrary then it becomes artificially considerate. Sometimes obnoxiously so.

>>96362231
those aren't alternatives, you're saying the same thing he is, the author decides how the magic works

Something either comes about unintelligently (evolution) or intelligently (artifice). There is no third.

>Also glad somebody else has been equally inspired by that little subgenre.
I feel like it brings out the A, in CYOAs. Yours I think was my favourite, but all of them have been rent free in my mind for a while.

>Can’t wait to see what you do with the arctic setting— are you planning to keep the general class structure?
It's a standard mcguffin hunt with a big emphasis on the logistics inherent to surviving the cold, and the sheer hostility of the environment is probably the biggest danger. A couple of the regions are bizarre, focused on Titans and Fae, respectively. They're all extremely hazardous in (aside from the cold) vastly different ways, which will take some planning on anons' part to survive.

As for class structure, yes, to an extent. There are three archetypes focused on violence, magic, and influencing others, each with three subspecialties, that work via resonating with the myths carved into the world long ago. The player also has the option to reject the offer to be trained, in which case they'll set out as they are, albeit in good physical condition. I think I'm anywhere from two weeks to a month from release, depending on how busy things get IRL.

>>96363110
This'll be my second proper CYOA release, and most likely five pages. My previous one, Struggle Is Nigh, was very rushed, very edgy, and got some (justified) flak for its difficulty, but my biggest love in CYOAs is seeing anons overcome challenges, so that's what I like to focus on. That, and esotericism that's got some solidity to it, if that makes any sense.

>I’ve been loosely working on a sequel set in a vaguely Hellenic archipelago and trying to figure out what I want to keep/change/iterate on, so it’ll be interesting to see what direction someone else takes it in.
That sounds like a real odyssey in the making, haha. There's too little appreciation for the old Greeks, and I'm very excited to see your take on it down the line. I think one of the best ways to deepen themes is in the boons, having them explicitly counter otherwise serious threats. I'm imagining a sail that doesn't get cut by scythe gulls, a diving helmet that can ignore a siren's call, and so on. There's an ocean of possibilities.

>>96363110
Nice, looking forward to the logistic aspect. "We Are Gone" is more about husbanding what's left rather than preparing to set out but does that aspect pretty well imo. Given it's Arctic is there going to be a NW passage opening / scramble for the North as we're starting to see irl?

>>96363110

Sex is an essential part of escapism. Your cyoa isn't complete without it.

>>96363161
*L'état c'est toi.

>>96363145
Anon you can imagine sex in a cyoa without having porn images plastered all over it. Oftentimes suggestive sfw images are way hotter than trashy tasteless porn.

Posting a meme with my build to get 11 points.

>DRAGON NIGGUH

1 Durand
1 Kingmaker
1 Clairvoyance
2 Undying
3 Olympian
3 Dragon Descent

Basically dragon form gives near invulnerability and Godzilla breath, Olympian buffs physical stats further, Durand buffs durability x10 and has no time limit if you use it on yourself, Clairvoyance is generally great plus magnification when I have to snipe stuff with my breath over several kilometers, Undying for regen, Kingmaker for fear aura (because why not, dragons tend to have it) and mental resistance. I don't really know how all that stacks and I don't care, I'm a motherfucking dragon. I'll come join the biggest group of people and messiahs around so I could laze around all day, eating good food and fucking bitches while sometimes flying over the general area and incinerating all the ground threats (what can 999999 walking zombies do against Godzilla breath really?).

Prey of choice:
Mothmen (can't pick up a giant fucking dragon)
Pegasi (they're much smaller as well, enforce air superiority)
Demons (they can't fly (probably?) so basically atomic breath them when they get too close)

6.5/10. Still a better dragon CYOA than Dragonfail.

>>96363131
Lord Thistlewaite is a genius. I definitely took a lot of inspiration from We Are Gone, that and the Winter section of Within A Dark Forest.

>Given it's Arctic is there going to be a NW passage opening / scramble for the North as we're starting to see irl?
One of the boons is an impossible to lose coin giving you patronage to a merchant's guild, allowing you to sell what you've found and buy supplies at a reduced rate. They're trying to get the wealth together to fund an escape from the world, or at least the section that's been frozen over. The Nemesis associated with them is their founder, a would-be plutocrat that wants to get your head to bribe the Winter Queen to show him a way out, which is as suicidally reckless as it is likely to succeed beyond his wildest expectations. Some civilization exists in most of the regions, but it's desperate, frostbitten, and spread thinner than a moth-eaten quilt.

>>96363132
Oh yeah, that shit is suicidal. Roughly half of the fluff is explainimg how likely you are to die, and then hammering in how the quest would be dangerous even if you were empowered, but the option is there. I think long-term survival would be possible if you were already competent, used to the cold, and clever with your boons. Victory though would take mantling a class on your own, cunning genius combined with an olympian physique and iron-will, or just pure dumb luck.

>>96363120
Weren't you making an army builder?

>>96363101
Now which are actually good?

>>96361369
> School
Revivalist
Knowledge is cool and all, but I would like to actually be able to use it to do stuff.

> Source
Archons
Gods
Go big or go home.

> Manifestation
Possession x2
Automatic Writing x2
Astral Travel x2
Invocation x2
Implement x2
Possession and Implement improve all my magic, Automatic Writing and Astral Travel let me gain knowledge more easily and Invocation lets me effect the physical world.

> Profession
Antiquarian
Gives me loads of freedom and I can potentially use the stuff I find myself if it's good enough.

> Perks
High Compatability (Archon)
I don't exactly have the strongest mental fortitude so this is a no brainer if I ever want to actually use archons properly.

> Drawbacks
Ascetic (Mind Altering Substances)
Oversenstitve (Lesser Spirits)
Incomplete Eductaion (Enhancement)
Collegial Rivalry
Sorcerous Rivalry
Haunted (Powerful)
A lot of drawbacks, but most of them are ultimately temporary. Of the two that aren't, I already don't do drugs and lesser spirits are easy enough to use that them being harder shouldn't be the end of the world.

>>96363177
Don't speak the frog tongue in these pristine halls.

>>96363235
That's for you to decide anon.

>>96363231
I am, yes, and am still holding myself to it, but this WIP has been gnawing at the back of my head and distracting me for a while. Once it's released and I don't have anything else fogging my head, the army builder will be up next. While I've got much more impetus behind the invasion CYOA, it's much more complicated and will take a lot of fine-tuning. I've learned a valuable lesson in trying to work on separate projects at the same time, as I thought this one would be small but the scope got away from me. In the future, I think I'll pour myself into a single WIP instead of trying to divide my attention.

>>96363281
Ahhh, that's totally understandable. No rush of course, I was just wondering. On a completely unrelated note, Were you the one who talked about Battle for Wesnoth and the world conquest mod?

>>96363318
>Ahhh, that's totally understandable. No rush of course, I was just wondering.
No worries, anon. I'd be worried about me flaking on a project like this, too, but I'm staying the course. My take on creative projects is that it's a lot like drawing a pistol, if you do it fast, you're likely to drop it or miss, but if you do it slow, you're likelier to hit what you're aiming at. Paradoxically, slower is faster, because it means less time accounting for mistakes. I'm guilty of rushing a lot, but slowing my work has led to improved speed and quality of output.

>On a completely unrelated note, Were you the one who talked about Battle for Wesnoth and the world conquest mod?
I think so, yeah! Battle for Wesnoth isn't flawless but it hasn't been matched yet for turn-by-turn hexgrid combat, in my opinion. World Conquest has a lot of balancing issues and puts you on the defense later on, but is the closest thing to a random campaign generator in the Battle for Wesnoth framework, I think. I like it, that was one of the bigger inspirations for the army builder.

>>96363349
Yes, but you are a jobber. So why bother?

>>96359603
Won't be for quite a while

I'm about 75% done the abilities, still have the traits, skills, and some new sections to fill.

>>96363349
>Paradoxically, slower is faster
Very wise, I'm glad you're making more stuff.

>Battle for Wesnoth
I wasn't even the guy you were originally talking to but, I ended up sinking about 150 hours into it, so thanks for the rec homie.

>World Conquest has a lot of balancing issues
Yeah it's straight up bullshit in last 2 scenarios but I still beat it on normal with the Cultist faction.

What does it mean to be the strongest in a CYOA?

>>96363392
noooooooooooooo

>>96363398
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations (and moans) of their women. That is what it means to be the strongest.

>>96363398
Whoever has the most fun.

>>96363398
Nobody can stop you taking what and who you want.

In a cyoa where you get powers in the modern world
Would you reveal yourself or stay hidden

>>96363449
That depends if I'd be strong enough to stop the glowies coming for me.

>>96363449
Unless you're planning on never ever using your powers, you'll have to reveal yourself eventually. The comic superhero/villain secret identity trope is impossible to pull off in real life. Batman and Peter Parker would get exposed in less than a week under modern surveillance.

>>96363142
No, go to horney jail

>>96363484
>advocate for no nsfw
>go to horney jail

>>96363473
Well Batman debuted in the 20's or 30's didn't he? Back then it wasn't so farfetched for a masked crime solver to be able to hide his identity.

>>96363392
At least you're alive

>>96363398
I think there are different levels in "the strongest":
>the eventual strongest (cool)
start with only a fraction of your power so you have to train or wait until you develop your full potential which then evolves into any of the next levels (eg: mushoku tensei, the witcher, ultimate grimoire)

>the not really strongest (very cool)
is one of the strongest beings in the world/power system, far from unbeatable but could 1v1 SOME of the strongest people (eg: danmachi, dragon fall, dawn of the demon lord)

>the strongest™ (cool if properly done)
anyone would say they are the strongest being in the world, could 1v1 anyone and come out on top but still has to be careful in case the weak stinky peasants try to gang up on you (eg: overlord [if we forget about ainz], dawn of the strongest mage, most anime slop)

>oc donut steel (boring af)
literally the strongest, noone can or will beat them because they ARE the main character and probably have a bunch of conceptual powers that let you do anything, everything and infinity+1. (eg: anything by troyx, most harem cyoas, most cyoas where you create your own powers)

>>96363142
>It would have been better not nsfw.

Eh, maybe? I don't like most NSFW CYOA because they tend to be *obsessed* with sex to the point where it becomes detrimental to the 'adventure' part. Like you'll get the usual power picker except all the powers will be sex themed. Which means you'll be looking longingly at the SFW version which has things like 'flight' and 'invincibility' instead of something like 'the ability to make people cum their brains out on touching them' which has niche real world applications outside of drumming up business for your 24/7 laundromat and leaves you wondering why the ROB is passing out such weird and limited power.

Of Whims is just a really solid CYOA which happens to have sex sprinkled on top. While I can't say it actually *adds* much - being SFW would mean it'd be posted here and discussed more so it's probably overall a negative - I at least like the execution.

>>96363495

>>96363648
Will Italics's evil furry woman agenda ever be stopped?

>>96360963
Tried to create necromancy using this.

School: Soul - obviously
Method: Gestures + Verbal - classic choice

Power Source:
Mana Pool + Stamina (+1 Power & Control) - basically just get tired by casting high-level shit

Limiters:
Narrow Power - Necromancy (+1 Control) - remove all the mind control spells and we're golden
Extra Casting Requirement (Verbal) - mostly added it for fluff but there's one modifier that makes Verbal better than Gestures
Implement - Rings, amulets, wands, staves made of bone (+1 Control) - shouldn't be an issue to make something out of animal bones, high-level stuff probably would need human bones inlaid with gold or something

Enchantments:
Persistent Magic (-1 Power) - to make necromancy permanent

Extra Magic:
Shapeshifting (-1 Control) - really hurts to take just for the ritual to become a lich but what can you do. Could probably include an ability to astrally project

Modifiers:
Ritual - adds a minute to all casting. We're not talking battle magic so the ability to take longer to get more powerful effects has obvious utility
Time-based - casting at night gives +1 power. Thematic and I need that one point for reliable 5/5 rituals
Cooperative - this kinda sucks because casting alone is -1 to everything so basically a lone necromancer needs to either cast spells for a very long time at night or find himself a friend to cast with. But at least it would probably mean more organized magical organization (because if you stab the guy you dislike in the back you suddenly only have 107 people for the leader's lichdom ritual and he'll be very pissed). I need points so it's fine

BASE Power 3
BASE Control 4

Here's how it works:

>>96363554
>Dragon fall
Okay, Tok.

>>96363680
12+ average Adepts casting for 1+ minute using wide gestures and loud words along with a 1+ minute ritual in a dedicated specifically-prepared ritual area at night would achieve a Power 5 Control 4 effect. If a Master is the ritual leader, it's a Power 5 Control 5 effect which basically means all the magical effects in the school (besides mind-control stuff and such) are achievable with the power of friendship and $300000 for ritual site and powerful implements. If we're talking me, the creator of the school, or a talented Master who has the same power, you can remove some of the requirements (cast with just 1 helper or alone for larger penalties, cast at day etc.). Average adept casting alone at night for 2+ minutes can still get a Power 3 Control 4 effect. If it's a 30-second spell without any ritual, it's 3/3 which is still good. 2/3 at day, 1/3 if just casting for 3 seconds or so in the open. All of it feels consistent (shorter spells - less power, control depends more on experience, and highest level spells require expensive and lengthy rituals performed by multiple people). The strength of this necromancy is that it creates extremely long-lasting or even permanent effects and allows practicioners to eventually become immortal. The weakness of this necromancy is that it's slow compared to throwing a fireball or shooting a gun, low-power Soul effects are unimpressive at best so a novice necromancer is better off having his undead close at hand and shouldn't even think about any magic dueling.

>>96363663
Italics only used furry women in 1 CYOA and its been stuck on him ever since. Which is crazy.

>>96363565
Cumming 24/7 is the goal of all anons though.

>>96363687
Anons just want an excuse to be horny for furry women so they pin it on him.

>>96363687
Well Lamentations is THE definitive furry cyoa. So it's not strange at all.
Italics only has himself to blame for putting so much effort into yiffshit.

>>96363720
It's that darn DLC....

>>96363473
Depends on the kind of powers (you) have. Characters like Shazaam and Prime, whose powers radically alter their form, would be hard to dox. Who would suspect a scrawny 14 year old boy to also be the 7 foot tall muscular Adonis who just saved the world?

Others - such as psychic ones - could probably pull it off, too. The Shadow (sort of an early version of Batman) had a psychic invisibility field, for example. Unless he turned it off, the only part of him that you could see was his shadow. Thus people had no idea how tall he was, or whether he was muscular/thin, or what color his hair/eye/skin might be . . .

Or consider Charles Xavier. If he didn't tell you he was psychic, how long would it take you to realize that Professor X was constantly reading your mind?

>>96363473

Nobody, but the cctv that spotted you de-transforming from the corner of a random would definitely ruin your day.
As for the psychic bullshit, those types of superpowers in general are boring as fuck.
Imagine being like this guy >>96363757 who thinks sitting on your ass all day popping random people's heads like balloons is anyway interesting or engaging premise.

Jumpchains got you covered, their headquarters is right down the hallway.

>>96363807
Now that's just harsh. Plus Death Note is at least entertaining (if a little retarded) so your argument about the power to kill people remotely not being interesting already falls flat.

>>96363772
You wouldn't get it.
This one is probably more your speed.

Isn't that the Spark of Lucira? The one that WILL kill the vessel as it demands more and more fuel until you can't satisfy it and it cannibalize your soul?

>>96363848
No, that's Devouring. Hedonistic is a normal Spark that lets you function like a normal person.

>>96363867
I was about to write something about coomers not being normal people, then I read the perk.
It's rare to see hedonism talked about in its whole sense rather than the lewd aspect.

>>96363848
>>96363867
I'll just post them all then to clear up confusion

>>96363797
Witch Awakening, the top level of the scrying-equivalent magic lets you remotely cast spells anywhere that you've scryed. Multiple kinds of magic are able to instantly kill anyone.

>>96363901

It's okay.
Given that the mad bomber somehow bypassed the vigilance of the Rank 5+ wizard-gods, they're not omnipotent nor omniscient. You can defeat opponents without playing fair, right Anon?

>>96363930
Nobody cares.

>>96363884
Basically the evil Sparks are Corruptive and Devouring, everything else can be applied in good or bad, heroic or villainous, ways.

>>96363955
You will never fit in

>>96363967
Whatever you say, newfag.

>>96363962
A shame about Corruptive being so malevolent. Reverse corruption is more interesting as a concept.

>>96363976
One of the gods with a Corruptive Spark is kinda like that, Arina. She's all about denial and bondage, and paints herself as this big pure not-Christian anti-sex goddess, because she gets off on putting you in a cockcage and never letting you feel pleasure. So it's kinda reverse, in that you're made to deny yourself and act pure, but really it's just her fetish to see you do it to yourself.

>>96363927
it sucks that you can't access the highest ranks but I cope through becoming a sorceress and taking a bunch to rank 5 elementalism magic which can be combined into brand new elements so you are practically multiplying your rank 5 magics

>>96363991
I think my plan involved abusing Magic Talisman to eventually fake having everything at Rank 5, while using my Genie to help guide my magical research in how to improve my soul so I can move up to Rank 6.

>>96363120
Oh, you did Struggle is Nigh! I did see the issues but I actually thought that was one of the best I’ve seen in a while. The balancing is maybe a little off but the fundamentals are all really solid—economy of language, the balance of specific vs general in descriptions, consistent style, a fairly original idea, etc. And I like that it has a goal, even if it’s a high bar.

>Survival and logistical elements

This is going to be a very interesting twist on a genre that’s pretty heavy on power fantasy, even if it comes with built-in challenges.

>I think one of the best ways to deepen themes is in the boons, having them explicitly counter otherwise serious threats.

This is a pretty neat way to give players a sense of what they’re up against… I was considering a separate section for ship boons vs personal boons, so this kind of thing would fit in pretty easily.

But it's not even about the furries, they ultimately take a backseat to the whole lore where humanity accidentally pisses off gods and get their civilization nuked. And you adventuring around. Hell, the furries aren't even center focus because they are secretly subordinate to human influence.

>>96363734
This DLC?

>>96364079

Ninety-nine percent of all CCTV footage is never even watched. It just sits on a hard drive (or an old VHS cassette) until the day it's deleted. No one has the time - or patience - to watch it all. Most of it is mind numbingly routine, after all.

CCTV doesn't become a threat to (your) secret identity until AI gets sophisticated enough to flag suspicious or unusual events in the footage.
